The rally was short-lived as the 10-year-olds erased the rally with four runs in the bottom of the inning (7-2). Hunter Pigman and Cole Skiles each received walks and scored on a wild pitch. Jarrett Napier got on board via the fielder’s choice and scored on an Andrew Ford hit. Ford would later score on a single by Braxton Amburgey.
